Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Lectures on the Early History of the Town of Falmouth: Covering the Time From Its Settlement to 1812 The Material in this volume forms three lectures on the Early History of Falmouth, which were written and delivered by Mr. Charles W. Jenkins, in Falmouth, about the year 1843. They were afterwards lent and lost for many years, but were recovered by me a few years ago, and are now printed as an addition to the literature of the two hundredth anniversary of the incorporation of the town. Only slight verbal changes have been made in the text of the lectures. Mr. Jenkins devoted much time and careful study to the records of the town, church and society, and also learned much town tradition from the older inhabitants; information which could not be gathered now, nearly fifty years later. It is to be hoped that some one may be interested to take up immediately the history where these lectures leave it, 1812, and carry it on to the close of the war of the Rebellion. The difficulty of getting the data for such a record will increase rapidly from now on. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
